Figuring out hatch day

This is my first time hatching. We have chickens at home but have never hatched. I decided to do some in my classroom. We set the eggs on a Monday, March 13 but it was at the end of the day, 2:30 pm. Should we expect pipping at the end of the day into Tuesday, April 4th?

Usually, if your temps are correct and they are going to hatch you start seeing external pipping day 20 and hatching day 21. If temps have been on the cool side, it will delay hatch and if it's warmer it will cause early hatching.
